It's very funny to see you write this, because I think Liberals would say the same thing about conservatives (replacing "socialism" with "facism").

There is hardly any difference at all between socialists and facists and neither is conservative. Hitler, often called a facist, did not believe in personal freedom, private property, or human rights.

We conservatives DO believe in these things as long as one is not infringing upon the rights of others. Conservatism taken in the extreme would be anarchy, not facism.

This is hilarious because if you replace "Conservatism" there with "Liberalism" you'd have some of the standard fare from liberals, right down to the bit about Anarchy. (When I read Anarchist writings they sound like Liberal writings taken to extremism.)

It sounds like there's common ground here. Either that, or Dianna is half way to becoming a liberal and just doesn't know it yet :)
